Our ski and sail trips take place from middle of February till late of May in the Western part of the county of Finnmark. Each week starts and ends in the small village of Øksfjord. Flights to/from Alta.

Welcome to S/Y Goxsheim and Aurora Borealis Sailing Ship Adventure. We are here to give to you the magnificent Northern Norway with the Northern Lights, midnight sun, glaciers, mountains, islands, fjords, wildlife and much more from the deck of one the largest sailing ships in this part of Norway. If you are not completely relaxed after a couple of hours on board with us, well - then there is a storm outside!

Aurora Borealis and S/Y Goxsheim

The Aurora Borealis is, apart from being the Latin name of the Northern Lights, a small company doing sailing ship cruises in Northern Norway. The company was established in 1999 at the same time as the rebuilding of S/Y Goxsheim started. The first trips were made during the spring 2002 after the return from Arkhangelsk where the rigging was done. Since then we've tried to do our very best to make interesting and adventurous trips in Northern Norway, this in cooperation with agents abroad that have the same approach to this as us: No mass tourism, a touch of idealism, a lot of adventures and an experience for a lifetime. We do hope that we manage to live up to this. Aurora Borealis is probably the only company in Norway doing trips like this with a sailing ship from late February till early December.
